From Bob Duff at Canwest News via the National Post,
Wednesday was that day. The Red Wings’ day to lift the Stanley Cup. Finally, Babcock’s chance to embrace hockey’s ultimate reward.
He savoured every minute of it.
Not just Wednesday’s 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins at Mellon Arena that sealed Detroit’s title with a 4-2 decision in the best-of-seven series, but every step along the way.
“I think what I’ve gained out of that experience and what I’ve tried to do through the whole playoffs is understand that it’s the best time you could ever be having in your life, besides family things,” Babcock said. “So enjoy every single minute you get to be in the playoffs and enjoy the process of preparing and working and going through match-ups and the highs and the lows and then come in here tomorrow and enjoy that again. And play the best we can possibly play, be as good as we can be, and ideally, that will be good enough.”
